I have two canadian sons married to american girls and living in
Manhattan. Just came back from NY, visiting them and my grandchildren.
I am glad to learn that the kids are becoming bilingual, because my sons
speak to them in Spanish at home. Of course, English is the main
language, both at school and at the playground.

English mentors. But I have to confess that while living in Canada I
learned a lot of idioms, especially those beginning with f....:-)
